Chapter 41: A Good Feast
Gu Xi looked at her slightly unwilling face, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Brother Gu can you pull it in this palace?" Yun Yanzheng suddenly said whimsically, and his eyes were particularly serious and sincere.
"What?" Gu Xi's eyes widened slightly, and he asked knowingly.
"Your face." Yun Yanzheng said shamelessly.
"......" Gu Xi was silent. After a while, he pursed his lips that were stained with a little oil, slowly put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, and said softly: "Yes, but ......"
"What?" Yun Yanzheng was interested, smiled slightly, straightened his waist, and his eyes instantly lit up with interest.
Gu Xi looked at her with a dazzling smile in her phoenix eyes, and smiled softly, but her voice was almost inaudible: "The eldest prince should be lighter." ”
Yun Yanzheng's heart paused like a drum, and then he smiled and covered up the past. She really stretched out her left hand, leaned over the table, and her slightly cool fingertips instantly fell on his cheek. Gently pulled, to see that he did not change, changed another position, and pulled out again, this time it was a little heavier. Seeing that he hadn't changed much, he didn't even frown, he gritted his teeth, his fingertips slipped to his ear and pinched it out, but he still didn't pull out anything, and the phoenix eyes that changed with divine light showed some disappointment.
"Isn't the eldest princess going to let go?" Gu Xi's face was close to her at the moment, and her smile was blurred, but her eyes were as quiet as a pool and as clear as snow. The four eyes were facing each other, and when the eyes were glued, they could see that there was now a faint ripple like a sunken wall in the lake.
Yun Yanzheng's heart was pounding for a moment, and after going to that layer of thought, he felt that the skin under his fingertips was delicate and silky, and then glanced at his posture with him, did he seem to be teasing others? She squinted and smiled, her eyes were as clear as the silver glow of the moon god, the corners of her lips were curved high, she slowly let go of her fingers, and sat back with her head tilted, and the chopsticks in her right hand continued to pick up the dishes, as if nothing had happened.
"Killing and sharpening a woman on the battlefield is indeed extraordinary." Gu Xi gently rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and said as if he was indignant: "Didn't you say that you should be lighter?" The eldest princess only said to pull it again. Did you pull out something? ”
Yun Yanzheng's cheeks secretly rose a suspicious faint flush, and his eyes were half-lowered like fans, pretending to be calm. Listening to it, he said complainingly: "Mr. Gu's disguise technique is so good, this palace just wants to know if your face is also changed, so you can't see the slightest emotion and change from your face?" What this palace wants to know more is what kind of monster is hidden under this clear and peerless face, and it can look unfathomable all day long. ”
"The eldest princess is really ruthless when she speaks?" Gu Xi put down his hand and said with a smile: "Did the person who came to deliver the pastries today make the eldest princess too angry?" ”
"No, I'm just a little tired of it." Yun Yanzheng bent his hand and sighed lightly. She was really tired of all these deceitful and intriguing things.

"No, I'm just a little tired of it." Yun Yanzheng bent his hand and sighed lightly. She was really tired of all these deceitful and intriguing things.
The spring breeze brushed her inky hair, bringing out the melancholy and sorrow between her eyebrows, and she looked at the verdant flowers and trees outside the water pavilion like a river mist, stroked her forehead and whispered: "This palace never likes the blood and suffering caused by war. But compared to the weirdness of the people in Kyoto, I prefer the endless wilderness, the clouds are wide and the sky is high, and the horses ride the wind, and they are free. Even when the two armies fought against each other, they mostly fought bravely and wisely, and the soldiers were united in their hearts and hatred for the enemy, killing the enemies of other countries and defending their own home and country, which was full of joy. It's not like now, guessing and killing each other, even if there is no bloodshed, but it is more unguardable and exhausting than the sword and sword. ”
Gu Yi was silent, and the corners of his lips faintly curled up with an indistinguishable smile.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Gu is listening to him." He raised his eyebrows, his face was as flawless as jade, and even the look in his deep eyes looked extremely sincere.
"Why don't you sigh together?" Yun Yanzheng looked back and asked with a smile, but the tiredness in his eyes was even worse.
"The eldest princess doesn't realize that life is also a choice, you can choose to pursue Yiren, be determined, unforgiving, and vow not to give up until you reach your goal; But you can also choose to enjoy the beauty of the beauty, leave freely, and chase a freer and broader world. All choices are only in people's thoughts, Gu believes that the eldest princess is a person who has the ability and courage to make choices. When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Gu Xi smiled, looked back at her and showed a different kind of warmth in her eyes, and said softly: "The eldest princess's best choice now is that we should eat in time, otherwise the dishes will be cold, and we won't be able to taste the best flavors that I specially cooked." ”
The expression on Yun Yanzheng's face froze for a moment.
Gu Xi looked at him with an indifferent gaze.
After a moment, the two of them staggered their eyes and smiled at each other.
The two know that he may not be honest with her, and she may not be the same.
It's just that he is willing to accompany her to see the flowers in the fog, and look at the moon in the water, hazy, faintly, and there is a little subtlety hidden in it. She went around in circles, and seemed to have turned back to square one with him. But there seems to be some differences, in the past, it always felt that there was a wall of ice with thorns on both sides between the two people, but now although it has not melted away, the ice seems to be a little thinner, and the thorns seem to be a few inches shorter.
The two of them ate silently for a while, and did not say much.
The afterglow gradually dissipated, and the twilight crept in, and the scenery in the garden became as distant and intimate as shadows.
There were no attendants in the water pavilion, and no one came to hold the lamp.
Yun Yanzheng was recuperating here, and he didn't bring a fire fold with him. She looked at the dark food in front of her, put down the chopsticks helplessly, and looked up at Gu Xi.
In the darkness, I could probably see Gu Xi just raise his head, and said with a soft smile: "The eldest princess doesn't think it's interesting to enjoy the scenery in the dark?" ”
"You didn't bring it either?" She asked with a smile, a little daring to believe it.
Gu Xiwan smiled, picked up the teapot flexibly and accurately with his fingers in the dark, and poured a half-full cup of tea for Yun Yanzheng and himself. He lightly blew away the ants on the surface of the water, drank a sip of the slightly cool jade soup in his hand, and said softly: "Let's walk around at will, can we eliminate food?" ”
"That seems like a good idea." Yun Yanzheng was stunned to see him elegantly take out the folded handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully wipe the oil off his lips, and his face couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
When she stayed in Kyoto, she didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with her at all, and there were special maidservants in the palace of the eldest princess and the prince's mansion to wait for such trivial matters. If she was in the barracks, she paid a little attention to these etiquettes and remembered to carry a handkerchief, so as to ensure that she was tall and handsome as the commander-in-chief, and that her white clothes were not stained with those ridiculous stains.
